To Tuition Plan 


Middlebury College has joined the 
tuition exchange plan, which pro¬ 
vides tuition benefits for faculty

which are also members of the plan. 
For many years, tuition has been 
remitted for children of faculty 
and staff members attending Mid- 
dlebury. Stratton said this policy 
will remain unchanged with mem¬ 
bership in the exchange program. 

At the present time almost 200 
colleges and universities throughout 
the country are members of the 
plan. Other Vermont colleges in¬ 
cluded in the exchange plan are the 
University of Vermont and Benning¬ 
ton College. 

With the plan in operation, chil¬ 
dren of faculty and staff members 
at these oolleges may receive tui¬ 
tion remissions at Middlebury.

Compulsion And Interest 

During its four-year history at Middlebury, the Reserve 
Officers’ Training Corps program has continually increased 
its influence and importance - perhaps too far. 

ROTC came to Middlebury on an unjustifiable compuls¬ 
ory basis, and so it has remained. Every man meeting i,ts I

v hv pick on little Lake Pleiad? 
And four, who would be game 
enough to turn up so early Sunday 
morning to participate in such’ a 
mysterious and very probably chill¬ 
ing task. 

Tantalized 

Duly tantalized, we trotted over 
to Warner Science at the appointed 
hour for the expedition’s orientation 
meeting. We found Woodin and 
Gardiner Barnum ’56, in the libr¬ 
ary looking, not brave or myster- 
iouJy scientific but calm and con¬ 
versational. Barnum was asking if 
they would be back in time for 
dinner. In a minute or two we were 
joined by Seward Highly ’55, and 
Gerald Lanese '55. Woodin said 
Peter Howell '57 had also expressed 
interest, and Nancy Herrington bi¬ 
ology lab assistant, had wanted to 
come “if the boys would let her 
work.'' No objections were raised, 
and it was moved that Miss Herring¬ 
ton be welcomed. Woodin also had 
heard from Leroy Knight, assistant 
business manager, that he was in¬ 
terested in the lake. 

i 

So our last question was ans¬ 
wered first: two students, two alum¬ 
ni, two faculty members, and one 
officer of the administration had 
volunteered. 

Without fanfare or preamble, 
Woodin said he had put 30 stakes 
in the lake the previous Sunday, 
50 feet apart. “Later we’ll have an 
air photo of the area,’’ he said, 
"but for now we’ll have to base 
our stakes on a true north-south 
line. He guessed the depth of the 


lake to be about 160 feet but said 
he had heard a, local rumor that it 
was over 300 feet deep. He said he 
had bought 400 feet of twisted-twill 
line. 

Speculation 

The group began to speculate 
about what to use for weight. Auto¬ 
mobile parts, lead pipe, and win- 
dow-sash weights were suggested. 
The final decision was a resolution 
to search certain fraternity houses 
and college buildings, but not, on 
account of the weather, junk yards. 

Woodin advised everyone to bring 
a shovel, not only for work, but 


low in spots. “But” he dismissed 
it, “if the springs are 400 feet down 
there’d be no effect and if they’re 
six feet down you’d bounce right 
back up through the hole.” 

Pleiad 

Why. pick on Lake Pleiad for a 
bottom profile plotting? What is the 
interest in that little pond at the 
foot of the Snow Bowl chute? For 
one thing, this survey is, by discov¬ 
ering problems, to be a test run 
for a survey the Vermont Fish and 
Game Service wants done on Lake 
Horton a. 

Knight is interested in it be- 


to park with, and as many picks as I cause the college might sometime 


possible. Our visions for elaborate 
oceanographic apparatus were fad¬ 
ing rapidly. 

Procedure 

He outlined the procedure, saying 
he thought they could expect about 
two feet of snow and three feet of 
ice. He thought one man could 
clear a patch of snow around each 
stake, then two or three men 
could “pick” down one or one and 
a half feet and then use the ice 
auger the rest of the way. “With 
money enough,” Woodin said, “we 
could use a starting motor and an 
electric auger.” Lanese began spec¬ 
ulation on the use of a 110-volt gen¬ 
erator he knew of and a Mountain 
Club toboggan, but the group de¬ 
cided there would not be enough 
time to rig it up. 

Woodin advised all to wear snow 
shoes or skis to minimize the dan¬ 
ger of falling through and pointed 
out the use of the auger was part¬ 
ly a safety measure since very few 
people would fall through an auger- 
hole. He mentioned the theory of 
James Walling '56, that warm 
springs might make the ice shal-

might want to poison the blood¬ 
suckers, and poisoning would neces¬ 
sitate knowing the volume of water 
in the pond. 

Lab Station 

Also, Woodin said, he hopes to 
learn enough about the lake to be 
able to use It as a lab station for 
his ecology classes. Assistant Pro¬ 
fessor of Biology Robert Chute 
would also like to use the pond in 
his proposed class in invertebrates. 
We mused ont the possibility of 
conflict here 'between the anti-leech 
trout-farmers and the pro-leech in¬

Court-Martial 


of Billy Mitchell 


When Salomon Levy came to General 
Electric in 1953, he already knew the kind 
of work he wanted to do. Like each of our 
25,000 college-graduate employees, he was 
given his chance to grow and realize his full 
potential. For General Electric has long be¬ 
lieved this: Whenever fresh young minds are 
given the freedom to make progress, every¬ 
body benefits —the individual, the company, 
and the country. 

Educational Relations, General Electric 
Company, Schenectady 5, New York 


Levy’s Work Interesting, Vital 

To study this problem of heat transfer, 
G.E. recently constructed a heat-transfer sys¬ 
tem. By electrically simulating the heat pro¬ 
duced in a reactor, it is possible to determine 
the maximum rate at which heat can be re¬ 
moved from a reactor to make steam. 

Dr. Levy conceived the Idea of building 
this complex system, designed it and super¬ 
vised its construction. At present, Levy 
works with this system to study new prob¬ 
lems of heat transfer and fluid flow encoun¬ 
tered in atomic power plants. 


25,000 College Graduates at General Electric 


An atomic reactor running at full efficiency 
creates a tremendous amount of heat in its 
core. By removing this heat and putting it to 
work boiling water to make steam, atom- 
made electricity is produced. 

One of the men responsible for designing 
new, more efficient ways to remove beat from 
atomic reactors is 29-year-old Doctor Salo¬ 
mon Levy — Design Analysis supervisor in 
the Atomic Power Equipment Department’s 
Reactor Engineering Unit.

Viola White, Of Abernethy Library Fame, 
plans A Homey Retirement In Middlebury 


Students Confess In Faculty Incident 

The six told Thurfcer. they had 
entered the apartment by mistake. 
They said they had been seeking 
another apartment. They added 
that they had believed Mrs. Fusaro 
to be a resident of the apartment 
they sought, and said they thought 
she was merely trying to “get rid’’ 
of them. 


(Continued from Rage 1) 
two who remained, still fighting to 
hold the first man. 

Fusaro said the porch light had 
been turned on, and during the 
struggle outside he saw the face of 
the man he was holding. He stated 
he believed the man was from the 
College, and said he could positively 
identify him. Because of this he 
said, and because of the struggle 
put up by the second man, he re¬ 
leased his hold on the invader and" 
the two assailants fled. 

Thurber quoted an unidentified 
passerby as stating that he saw 
several men on the street ouside the 
apartment house, and stated that 
another unidentified observer re¬ 
ported he saw a car nearby and 
could identify it by description and 
registration. Alan Chandler, cam¬ 
pus policeman, investigated, and 
said he found the car allegedly 
used by the invaders on the campus. 


By Jane Countant 

“Won’t you sign the visitors’ 
book?” asked Dr. Viola White, as 
we entered the austere little office 
t0 tire left of the Abernethy Room. 
“So many interesting people have, 
signed it—here Is W. H. Auder’s 
signature, and Perry Miller's and 
Robert Frost’s.” Meeting and talk¬ 
ing with significant persons in the 
literary field, with scholars who 
u se the Abernethy collection in 
their work, has beenv one of the 
most vital aspects of Viola C. 
White’s 30 years as curator of the 
Abernethy (Room, and is one of the 
tilings she will miss when she re¬ 
tires in July. 

“Homey” 

“My retirement is going to be 
exceedingly homey and unroman¬ 
tic. I plan to stay here in Middle¬ 
bury for a while and have an 
apartment with a kitchenette. 
I've been eating on the hill for 30 
years! So, while others are wan¬ 
dering, I shall be concentrating on 
a cookbook!” Dr. White pleasant¬ 
ly responded to our question of 
plans for the future. 

Foremost in her dreams is a trip 
to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, 
where she worked on her Ph. D.; 
she wishes to be able to have the 
time to enjoy the countryside in 
that area. There are many other 
things she wants to do, such as 
being able to be out of doors a 
great deal more (“something that 
means, more to me than any tilling 
else”) and spending more time on 
her interest In nature, especially 
birdwatohing. 

American Literature 

Her interest in American litera¬ 
ture was Initiated as an under¬ 
graduate Latin and English litera¬ 
ture major at Wellesley, when she 
became aware of the possibilities 
in that field. She received her M. A. 
at Columbia University and re¬ 
ceived her Pli. D. from the Uni- 
vei.ity of North Carolina for a 
dissertation on “The Symbolism in 
the Writings of Herman Melville,” 
a subject explored very little at 
that time. Recently, Dr. Lawrence 


Thompson of Princeton University, 
has added two copies of her work to 
the Princeton library for student 
reference. 

Social Work 

Social work in (Boston occupied 
several years before she assumed 
her present position with Middle¬ 
bury College. “I must have been 
the least adept worker they ever 
had,” she recalls, “'but when we 
graduated from college, the goal 
of duty was social work, It was 
something just crying to be done, 
and there was a great deal of en¬ 
thusiasm for it, especially with the 
example set by such people as Jane 
Addams.” 

She has traveled In Europe, but 
a trip to the Southwest meant as 
much to her as seeing the old 
civilization, for she was extremely 
fascinated with the Pueblo In¬ 
dians. “Since I’ve come to Middle¬ 
bury, I’ve been pretty regional, how¬ 
ever,” she says. 

Poetry was her first major liter¬ 
ary love, and she has published 
several volumes, notably one in the 
Yale Series of Younger Poets, 
“Horizons,” and two others, ‘‘Blue 
Forests” and “Not Faster Than A 
Walk.” Over the years, she has 
turned more to prose, and has 
written a series of articles, several 
of which have been published in 
the “Atlantic Monthly.” Most re¬ 


cently, her articles have been na¬ 
ture-oriented, arising out of her 
interest in wildlife. 

“I have never been very com¬ 
placent about anything I’ve writ¬ 
ten,” she says, “especially the poe¬ 
try—after all, when one’s anthill 
is such a very small anthill. . .” And 
we left thinking it might be very 
fine to have one of just that size.

The College Library will be clos¬ 
ed on Saturday afternoon, March

The surprise showing of the day

With the conclusion of the hockey 
and basketball campaigns, elections 
were held to choose next winter’s 
captains for each team. Hugh Mar¬

spective choices for the two posi¬ 
tions. 

Sykes has been one of Tony Lu- 
pien’s stalwart court performers for 
the past three years. As a freshman, 
he was a starter and teamed with 
Middlebury’s all-time high scorer, 
Sonny Dennis, to pace the Pan¬ 
thers. For iris outstanding work in 
basketball and track coupled with 
his strength of character and sch¬ 
olastic ability, he received the Blue 
Key award at the conclusion of his 
freshman year. 

A year ago, his fine floor play 
and added scoring punch helped to 
lead the Lupienmen to one of the 
fine records in the school’s his¬ 
tory. In track, as a sophomore, 
Sykes teamed with Bill Holmes and 
Art Meserve to give the track squad 
a solid threesome in the hurdles. 


necessity to compensate for a lack 
of height. The loss of Middlebury’s 
great rebounder and leading scorer, 
Tom Hart coupled with the added 
departure of high-scoring senior 
forward Cy Anfindsen and equally 
dependable John Hoops would 
hamper the Panthers. "It is hoped 
that incoming freshmen will pro¬ 
vide aid in replacing the graduat¬ 
ing seniors. . .. ^ 

Marlow, from Brookrine, Mass., 
attended Milton Academy where he 
excelled in football, tennis, and 
hockey. As a freshman he was a 
member of the Panther varsity hoc¬ 
key squad. Last season he stood out 
as a forward lineman exhibiting 
some fine scoring ar.d skating abi¬ 
lity. 

This season Hugh started out 
the campaign once again as one of 
Duke’s top offensive men. At mid¬ 
season, after damaging injuries to 
defensivemen, Jerry 'Lenz and Bill 
Ryan, it became necessary to move 
Marlow to a defensive spot. Ac¬

Looking back over the 1955-56 
hockey season, Coach Duke Nelson 
stated that he was quite pleased 
with the effort turned in by the 
team, a 10-11 record, taking into 
consideration the bad breaks in the 
injury department and one of the 
toughest schedules the team has 
ever played. 

“We were undoubtedly playing in 
the fastest league in the East,” 
said Duke, “and we added to our 
schedule for the first time Michi¬ 
gan State, and played Harvard for 
tfhe first time since 1930. The auto 
accident that took the life of goalie 
Buff Bennas and cost us the serv¬ 
ices of defensemen Jerry Lenz and 
Bill Ryan put a severe crimp in 
our plans, but the boys fought 
these setbacks as well as anyone 
could have wanted.”

| The season, prefaced by the 
! squad’s first full-length practice 
I period on its own artificial ice, 

1 started off with three straight de¬ 
feats at the hands of three very 
strong opponents, Michigan State, 
RPI and Harvard. This was im¬ 
mediately followed by the tragic 
aocident early in tlie morning of 
December thirteenth, an accident 
i which could have hurt the team 
psychologically for quite a while. 
However, after the cancellation of 
the game with Boston University 
the following night, the high point 
of the season for Duke came Sat¬ 
urday morning, when the boys had 
just returned from the funeral and 
took the ice against a powerful 
Northeastern team at Boston Gar¬ 
den. The Panthers trounced the 
Huskies that day, 11-4, with Cap¬ 
tain Ronnie O’Keefe snaring four 
goals. 

I That was the beginning of a six- 
game winning streak, as Christ¬ 
mas vacation was followed by five 
straight wins over Montreal. (6-3': 
Dartmouth (2-0>: Hamilton (9-2): 
Williams (10-2) and Norwich f4-2>. 

The streak was snapped in a dis¬ 
appointing game at West Point, 
which the Cadets won, 2-1 in over¬ 
time, and following that game the 
Panthers could win but four of 
their eleven remaining games. 

With a few breaks, thought Nel¬ 
son, the 7-6 loss at Yale might 
have gone the other way. As far as 
the rest of the schedule was con¬ 
cerned, the record was pretty much 
what he had expected, except that 
he had been hoping for^a possible 
split with RPI, until the Engineers 
won the game at Middlebury, 7-4, 
in December.

Under the present ruling, ..the athletic council, representing the 
college will award to each winner of the varsity “M” in all intercol¬ 
legiate sports a block chenille letter, white on a blue background, 
and approximately five by seven inches in size. On the other hand, 
the MUA, representing the f student body alone, will give to eacli 
winner of three “M” awards a letter sweater similar to, but cheaper 
in cost, than the sweater received formally by all “major” sport 
letter winners. 

Triple Purpose Achieved 

A triple purpose is achieved by these two decisions. Each “M” 
award winner, no matter what the sport, will now receive recogni¬ 
tion from the College for his achievements. Secondly, the letter 
sweater award is placed at a much higher premium for an athlete 
must triple his qualifications in order to receive ;onc. Thirdly, the 
financial problem faced by the MUA of not being able to award a 
sweater to every Varsity “M” winner is solved. Everyone will not 
be satisfied, but at least a definite basis for recognition by both the 
College and the student body has been established.

The outlook for next season 

seems fair-, though the loss through 
graduation of O’Keefe, Binning, 
Fyfe Dollar and Dave Kunzmann 
will hurt. The younger players 
showed up well and developed 
quickly this winter, and Duke was 
pleased with the performance of 
Karin. Ken Farrar will be back in 
the nets, an encouraging thought, 
and a tentative first line would 
consist of Kouri, Bostwick and 
Karin. Captain Marlow and Lenz 
should handle most of the defen¬ 
sive duties, with Ryan and Kerr

A Two Hour Lecture And Demonstration 


By Kathleen Platt 

A painting was born in Carr Hall 
Sunday night, while some 150 on¬ 
lookers watched with absorption 
and mixed emotions. 

Jacob Lawrence, one of America’s 
foremost contemporary painters, 
came to Middlebury as tihe fourth 
program of the College’s concert- 
lecture season. 

After a few informal remarks, 
Lawrence turned to his work for the 
evening, a blank piece of paper. He 
assured his viewers that he had 
nothing more definite in mind than 
the subject matter for his paint¬ 
ing—"Masquerade Ball”—and that 
the picture would be created as he 
went along. 

The first question an artist must 
ask himself hr painting, he ex¬ 
plained, is “What do I want to say 
about my subject?” Dining the next 
two houm Lawrence went on to 
answer that question in terms of 
design, color and movement. 

Although he tried to isolate for 
his audience the process of creating 
a painting, the artist explained that 
these become second nature with 
experience. The particular picture 
components of which the layman 
is aware become submerged in the 
unity of the painting in the eyes 
of the artist. 

Generally speaking, though, Law¬ 
rence determines composition first, 
then distributes color, always keep¬ 
ing in mind the message he wishes 


to convey. The next step is that , a particular line or color brought

The next step was that of work-
